I get a lot of headaches, and for a while had the cached belief that ibuprofen was the way to go and acetaminophen (paracetemol) doesn’t work on me at all. But after a c-section I was given the big doses of both, and told to alternate, and I noticed that I could definitely tell the difference between skipping/delaying an acetaminophen and taking it on time. So now I use that for headaches, especially sinus-y headaches where I don’t want to suppress my immune response that’s trying to get my cold to go away.
